Molly the Pony... A Story of Heroes, Survival and Caring... A True Story written and photo illustrated by Pam Kaster

In late August 2005, a fiercely powerful hurricane slammed into southern Louisiana.  Many people were caught by surprise by Hurricane Katrina’s destruction and had not made special plans for themselves or their animals. 

I managed a Red Cross Shelter for three days during the storm. I was humbled by the courage of the people in my shelter as the news started to filter out that most of them had probably lost their homes, fishing businesses, and their neighborhoods. 

Later, when I saw pictures during a fundraiser for the LSU School of Veterinary Medicine of a small pony undergoing a rare amputation surgery, I immediately recognized in her the spirit of survival I had witnessed in the people in my Red Cross Shelter.

Dr. Nicholas Dodman of Tufts Univeristy, a recent guest on Good Morning America, has just written a book on this subject to discuss what he believes to be the number one solution to this heart-wrenching problem. His book, “The Well Adjusted Dog“ provides seven steps for dog owners to follow.
